OSWINE. Anglo-Saxon
name meaning "divine friend," from Old English os,
"divinity, god, rune,"
and wine "beloved, friend."
(A Handy Dictionary
of Anglo-Saxon Poetry Based on Groschopp's Grein, Harrison-Baskervill,
1886). Baring-Gould renders the name "the friend of the
Ancestral deity." Os is another form of As which is the singular form of Æsir (the gods). (Family
Names and Their Story, Baring-Gould, 1910).
...On the death of Oswald, his
dominions were again separated into their chief constituent parts.
His brother Oswiu succeeded to Bernicia and the Bretwaldaship; and two
years later, Oswine (Oswini), son of Osric, to Deira... (A
History of England Under the Anglo-Saxon Kings, Lappenberg, v.1,
1881)
